Chapter 66: The Compass Guides the Way (Required)
66 compass to guide the way
Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe compass pointer in the fat man's hand pointed firmly to the side of the darkness, and from this direction, it happened to avoid the huge crater that collapsed, at least from the perspective of the eyes, it was a clear road.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go! The fat man said, leading the way in front. I followed him, flashlight on him, and saw a huge black shadow spread out beneath his feet, leading to the boundless darkness beyond.
The dark space was filled with coldness and silence, and only the sound of our footsteps kept repeating in my ears. There was a feeling of being watched behind me, but the moment I looked back, it disappeared. After I turned around three times, the fat man spoke: "Xiao Ye, don't be suspicious." If you turn back so suddenly, you won't be scared of the things behind you, but it will easily frighten the fat man. The road beneath his feet was suddenly dark and bright, as if there were ghosts haunting him. ā
"It's not. I really feel like there's someone behind me, as if they've been following us all the time, and we're going, and it's going. We stopped, he stopped, that's the strange feeling. As I spoke, the flashlight in my hand swept away towards the darkness behind me, but I don't know how far the darkness was behind, for we had been walking down the road for about ten minutes, and it had been flat and slightly downhill.
The light of the flashlight flickered back and forth, left and right, and finally I could see the difference in this part of the road. The two sides are still made of magma stones, and a narrow path half a meter wide has been formed in the center that can only be passed by one person, and the dirt road under your feet does not know when it will disappear. Instead, there is a patch of mud and rock, which extends from the stone walls on both sides, and the earth seems to be man-made.
"This place has been visited by people, and it is a lot of walking." Seeing this, a burst of surprise inexplicably rose in my heart.
"Look, this is all the credit of our ancestral compass, if it weren't for it, where would we find such a way out. However, we seem to have forgotten someone......" The fat man said proudly, but after speaking, there was a certain regret in his eyes.
"No, we must find Yaozi, we can't just go out like this." As I spoke, I was about to go back. The fat man grabbed me, and then pressed me to the stone wall like a dead dog.
"You can't go back, it's too weird. Maybe we will die as soon as we enter, and we can only walk forward in the path pointed out by the compass. This compass is not necessarily the exit, let's go ahead, maybe we can find Yaozi's whereabouts. The fat man comforted me while explaining constantly.
To be honest, I was moved by what he said. Walking towards the back, trying to find such a flat way out is tantamount to going to the sky. And walking towards the front, if it is an exit, maybe Yaozi has already been waiting anxiously there, if it is not an exit, then continue to look for Yaozi's whereabouts.
I began to comfort myself, even though I knew that the possibility of such a thing was almost zero.
The fat man watched my eyes change, and then slowly let go of me. My body collapsed from the stone wall like a lump of melted wax. He continued to lead the way, holding the battered compass in his hand, while I followed, illuminating the path under my feet with the dim light.
The pointer turns left, and we follow it until the pointer is right, and we go straight again. The compass had become a prophetic navigator, and although it had been going downhill all the way, it was as flat as a land and did not make any waves.
Suddenly, the fat man stopped. I almost bumped into his back abruptly, and I was about to ask what was wrong, when he suddenly raised his hand and motioned for me not to speak, and then he put his ear to the stone wall on his right, as if listening for the movement inside. Seeing this, I naturally closed my mouth with interest, even holding my breath, and quietly listened to the sounds around me.
This is the ultimate quietness, where the small flow of air in the nasal cavity can reach the ears.
In addition to this, there seems to be a sound coming from the stone wall on the right. "Huh...... The sound sounded as if someone was asleep, the air around his nose rattling up and down with the rhythm ......of his breathing.
A terrifying thought suddenly rose in his heart, could it be that this mountain was really a huge person, and he was falling into a deep sleep. And the place we walked before happened to be his mouth, the cliff stalagmites on both sides were his teeth, and we were at the moment on the throat where the trachea and esophagus meet?
The thought reappeared, and I felt an inexplicable panic spread throughout my body. I even feel that human faces will grow on the surrounding stone walls at any time, densely covering the entire stone walls, and finally swallow the two of us here.
"That's not right!" The fat man suddenly shouted, and then quickly retreated behind his back. I was leaned on by him, and I sat on the ground all of a sudden, and both of them fell not lightly, especially the fat man, who was already injured, and at this moment he was sitting in place grinning in pain, and he didn't even make any of the actions he had prepared before, and he didn't even say anything.
"Fat man, are you okay?" I asked worriedly. The fat man hissed at me, made a silent gesture, and motioned for me to lean my ear over.
He whispered in my ear: "This stone wall is fake, there may be a mezzanine in it." Just now I heard the sound of someone talking inside, and even the sound of small, compact footsteps. There's definitely something going on over there, and we'll have to find a way to open this stone wall and walk through it to see what happens. ā
Piercing the stone wall? Are you kidding! There is almost a voice in my heart shouting to the sky, can an unarmed person rely on his fist to chisel through the stone wall? It's harder than climbing to the top on foot! "Fat man, are you sure you're not joking?" I solemnly looked into his eyes and asked softly.
The fat man shook his head silently, his hand covered his buttocks, and the wound on his waist seemed to be a little torn by this fall. Suddenly, he made another silent gesture towards me, and then he threw himself to the ground with his ears on the ground.
After three seconds, his face changed dramatically, and I didn't have time to ask why. His massive body seemed to be a tank running over me, and then I was crushed under him, and the flashlight fell to the ground, plunging the surroundings into absolute stillness.
Before I could ask the words 'what's wrong' behind "Fat man, what the hell is ......", a loud noise suddenly came from the ground, which made my ears fall into a roar. At the same time, a huge vibration converged from all directions towards the place where we were, and the roar continued, and I felt a fine cloud of dust fall from the sky, fall on my forehead and eyebrows, and most hatefully of all, actually fall into my eyes.
The scorching pain kept my eyes open, and tears slowly moistened my eyes. I wanted to find the flashlight to see what was going on, but the fat man grabbed my hands, and the huge force made me unable to move. (To be continued.) )
